Tall tales or real history?
Stuart's Grandad, Arthur Walton, enlisted in Trafalgar Square on 17th August 1914 at the age of 16. Why? When he died in 1972, he left a bunch of unbelievable tales. But what if they're true? 'Bottles with gold nuggets floating in them.' 'Shamrock cap-badged Russians?' 'We stole a train to escape the Bolsheviks', 'Liverpool Jail', and why 'Cosher' Walton? These tales are from Stuart’s books. During this talk he will compare them with real history ... to see if they could actually be true.
